I got an issue of Epoch Times in the mail



Aaaarrggh! I feel dirty having to tear off the address listing "my name or current resident" on it for the shredder.

Jeeze, I just hope that my mail carrier doesn't think that I ordered it.

About a week ago. I'm not familiar with it but it looked like propaganda and went directly into the trash!

13. It would be a shame if a fuck ton of fake subscriptions were mailed, bankrupting their printing.

.

They'd get a lot of ad revenue in the first couple of months, based on subscription, and when advertisers notice no sales from them, they'd lose out on future ad buys, yet would still have active mailings.

11. Falun Gong is pro Trump hoping he will damage the Chinese economy

Falun Gong, which controls this outlet, is outlawed in China, its members are jailed. They support Trump and his supporters hoping Trumps trade war will cause the Chinese government to fall.

Their leader has insane views which cause some followers to delay medical treatment, believing that chanting will cure cancer etc.

That's what I do with unsolicited right-wing shit that occasionally comes in the mail. Stuff it all in their return envelope so they pay the postage.
